There is no doubt of the value of
cocaine, when appropriately and
guardedly used by physicians and sur
geons. DIR. Hammond, of New York.
lately read paper on the subj ct before
the New York Neurological Society, In
which he expressed doubts as to the
existence Of cocaine habit which
could not be readily controlled by the
will. In the discussion which followed
the reading of the paper, DIR. Madison
said he had within few months seven
cases of the habit under his care, five Of
whom were physicians. A physician, in
attempting to write prescription, wrote
for sheriff to come and take the patient
to Jail. He had also himself noticed
Authorizations and decisions. He
thought the continued use of the drug
more injurious than that of morphine.
His patients had gradually acquired their
habits. The president of the society
referred to thirteen cases reported by a
German physician. In Pittsburgh, a
prominent physician. who had formed
the habit, became violent, and, under
the dclusion that nc was being attacked
by burglar, began firing right and left.

from n pebble to very respectable
boulder. lncalcuablc damage was done
to the crops, tall trees were shivcred to
atoms, barns and outhouses were de.
molishel and many domestic animals
were killed. In SOM localities tho
ground was covered with the bodies of
wild geese aud hawks, which appeared
to have been killed during their fight
in the air. Several parsons were struck
and badly injured while at work in the
fields, and in the city itself, which
missed the violence Of the shower one
dwelling was wrecked. The stones arc
said TO have fallen continuoudy for
